The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 218: "Why Is It You?"

She sat there and waited with her husband, her three uncles and Rosé in the waiting room. Jennie shut her eyes and hoped that the surgery would be successful. Whoever the donor was, they had given her mother a chance to live and spend more time with her.

'Please let her be okay.' She prayed in her heart. 'Please give my mother back to me.'

Jennie started to feel restless a few minutes after the doors to the operating room were shut, the red light flashing, indicating that the surgery was ongoing. She was never great at being on the side lines and waiting.

At least now, she didn't feel alone with her family being here to be her anchor at her lowest point in her life. In her previous life, she was only allowed to see her mother after the funeral. Jennie had never truly felt alone until that moment.

Then two hospital personnel came, bringing the containers carrying the organs that would save her mother's life. According to the doctors, the donor was also within the facility, so they would be able to harvest the organs they needed and transfer them to Hye Kyo's body immediately.

Knowing that she wouldn't be able to endure waiting here for the news, she stood up and left the waiting room. She heard her uncle's voices, asking her where she was going, but she tuned those voices out.

Lisa and Rosé chose to follow her, though without a word, and when she stopped and faced them, she allowed her tears to run down her cheeks again.

"Jennie…" Rosé took her hand with hers and gave it a slight squeeze. "I know that you are worried about Aunty Kyo, but don't do anything that you might regret later."

"I can't be there." Jennie shook her head. "I need to see who the donor is, and thank them for this favor. I need to speak to them."

"But the doctors say it's confidential. You aren't supposed to know who the donor is, Jennie." Rosé reminded her best friend.

It was obvious that Jennie was trying to keep her thoughts occupied with something else at this moment. Rosé couldn't blame her, though. She had seen many family members waiting outside the operating room throughout her time as a nurse. Some would receive great news, others will receive devastating news in the end.

"But I need to know and meet them, Rosie. If you are in my shoes, won't you at least say a sincere thanks to the person who gave your mother a chance to live?" Jennie insisted.

Rosé fell silent for a moment. Jennie didn't need to say that, because she understood what her best friend was feeling at that moment. Hye Kyo was like a mother to her. Heck. Hye Kyo was more of a mother to her than the woman who actually gave birth to her.

Jennie wasn't the only one distressed seeing Hye Kyo's health dwindling with each passing day. It also broke Rosé's heart that she couldn't do anything to ease the pain her Aunty Kyo was enduring all this while. Even the thought of losing her disturbed Rosé greatly.

"I know, Jennie. It's just that it's at the donor's discretion whether they want the recipient to know their identity or not. It's clear that whoever it was, they didn't want you to know."

"Still, I would like to thank them in any way I can. It doesn't matter if I don't see their face. I just want to extend my utmost gratitude for their favor." Jennie then glanced at her husband, who nodded in response.

Rosé sighed. What was she expecting from Lisa anyway? This little tyrant was incapable of denying Jennie's requests, even when they were younger. It was so obvious to her who was wearing the pants in their marriage.

Seeing that her best friend had already made up her mind, Rosé could only follow Jennie and the three of them headed to the ward where the donor could be found.
